- Is your candle jar getting hotter than it should? ðĨ In this eye-opening video, I tackle the burning question: just how hot can a candle jar get? Join me as I conduct a self-inflicted candle jar temperature test, pushing the limits at 140, 150, 160, and a staggering 175 degrees Fahrenheit! And guess what? I did it twice for extra precision! ðĄïļ
Watch as I uncover the truth behind candle jar temperatures, backed by not one, not two, but FIVE pieces of compelling evidence! From safety concerns to understanding the dynamics of candle jar temperature, this experiment sheds light on what the maximum surface jar temperature of a candle jar should be.

Thanks for putting this video out. I have been making candles for many many years and I have always ran with the 140° max. Honestly if I cannot pick the candle up while it's burning and walk it from wherever it is to the next room and then back and set it down it's a fail to me. I know I can withstand hotter temperatures then a lot of other people. My adult children tell me all the time that I'm crazy I can't feel hot. So I make sure that I can hold on to the candle much longer comfortably than most people would ever need to.
I am the total opposite. I am always cold. Hahaha!!! Thanks for the comment.
Crazy what you put yourself through for the temperature testing, but I, for one, am appreciative (albeit at your expense) ðģ
@@countryblends Thank you. It was a bit scary and fun.
Thank you for doing this test. Iâve realized also wood wicks throw off a lot of heat so Iâve tested on different materials from concrete and others making sure also that the cement candle jar is properly sealed inside and out.
You are definitely a trooper, just watching the part where you are testing the hot jars.
Thanks for this crucial testing and information. The time and effort you put in to empower others to ensure that they provide safety to others is truly appreciated. Glad to know the rec temp for tins is 125. I know from experience that they do get very hot as they go down. Thanks Again.
Thanks for doing this as a new candle maker .
I have said this for a few years now that there is NO max temperature listed in the ASTM and would cite the copy I purchased, but people would argue me down in the groups and on Reddit. Now, do I let my candles burn at 200°F - no!
If you've ever tested a B&BWs candle or a candle from Kohls you'll discover that their candles burn much hotter than 140°F & that's after a 2-hour burn. The B&BWs candles would burn at 180-200°F which is kinda scary to think about.
Thank you for making this video! Safety matters folks! You da Man!
you are exactly right- I have 2 separate copies- different years- of the ASTM documents for candle safety and no where are max allowable temps for jar/tins mentioned. I have had several B&BW, Yankee, and Scentworx (Harry Slatkin-Kohls) that burn hotter than 200° and this is only after about 2 hours burning.. they are scary for sure
The fact that people want to debate you about this is ridiculous. As you can see in my testing itâs not easy holding a jar at high temperatures. I was in a controlled environment but imagine if someone inadvertently picks up a candle jar and walks away. Thanks for the comment.
Interesting. I like your testing methodology. One more thing to consider - in the real world, someone surprised by the heat won't be dropping a jar of hot water, they'll be dropping something that's on fire.
Absolutely. Thatâs the point. Imagine if I dropped a candle and the flame hit material like a curtain. It wouldnât be fun. Iâll tell you that. Thanks for the comment.
thank you, Jay for this. This is definitely updated from when I first started doing the candles.
when I first started, I was watching Armatage Candle Co on TH-cam and he talked about the temperatures as well. I guess at one time you were able to download a sheet from the candle safety website because he had given us a link to download at that time they were saying 165 degrees as the hottest a jar could be. as well as other things like how many wicks were in the jar. Did it produce smoke? Did it crack? Did it cause any surface damage?
I try not to let my jars go over 140 but I did not know about the metal being 120. I also have that sheet where I document all of my testing. Yes, God forbid and one of our candles burned down anybodyâs house, but at least I know if something was to happen because that person didnât use the candle correctly. At least I have proof showing that I have tested my candles extensively.
Iâm concentrating on adding some tins to my line so this is good information to know. Thank you for doing the testing when you got to that 175 I was like oh my God, heâs not gonna even be able to pick it up.
165 is ridiculous and they knew it. Thatâs probably why they removed that temperature from their website. As you saw in my testing itâs not easy to hold a hot candle jar. 165 is way too hot and I challenge anyone who says differently to try to hold it for 5 seconds. Impossible. Thanks for the comment.
